Of course it is a WOTC license. It was written by a WOTC employee trying to
maximize benefit to WOTC. There's nothing wrong with that, but scolding
people who would like a genuine community-drafted license is a bit much.
You're trying to have it both ways. The OGF is not a public effort; it's a
private effort that has tried to be responsive to public feedback. The
decision-making has always rested solely in your hands -- to my knowledge, no
publisher of competing rules systems has been invited to be a director of
the OGF. Maybe it will turn out well, and I'm looking forward to seeing the
licenses when they become final, but it's a benevolent dictatorship that
wants to be called a democracy.
